The fault current tests are performed from steady state peak current of 200 A by applying controlled short circuits up to 8 kA varying the time period from one to six cycles. The test results show the function of the shunt resistor providing homogeneous quench behavior of the HTS coil besides its intrinsic stabilizing role. The limiting current ratio achieves a factor 4.2 during 5 cycles without any degradation.664-667engBi-2212 bulk coilHTS bifilar coilHTS coilssuperconducting fault current limiterArtigo10.1109/TASC.2008.920595WOS:000256625700139Acesso restrito1689995854269032
